Hailing from Rio de Janeiro, Siriun is the brainchild of vocalist and guitarist Alexandre Castellan. The band will release their new album In Chaos We Trust on April 20, and we're giving you a taste of said chaos with the band's new song "Mass Control."
The song strikes a killer balance of modern thrash, death, progressive and groove metal, and they're pretty stoked on the lyrics too.
"The track talks about the idea of controlling the mind of the masses by the dominant power, in order to create obedient and standardised individuals and thus preserving their status. We believe that human beings are on a journey of awareness by default, but it's interrupted by extraneous forces. It’s a power that represses our inner self and empties our subjectivity through a imposed belief system. Thus, we reproduce ideas and feelings as original and true, but they are nothing more than repetitive patterns."
In Chaos We Trust was mixed by renowned drummer Kevin Talley (Chimaria, Suffocation, Six Feet Under), produced and mixed by Alexandre Castellan, mastered by Alan Douches (The Black Dahlia Murder, Revocation), and was given artwork by Niklas Sundin (Dark Tranquillity).
